    Besides Diet Coke, I dont enter tea or Crystal Lite type drinks. I tried but then I would make it, enter the 10 calories in the app but only drink like half then maybe half the next day. It got confusing and I didnt want to have to edit one day to add the 5 calories to the next day so I just quit.

    I usually forget to log my water, but I am consciously drinking more. I don't log my coffee. Everything else. Everything. And negative calories? No such thing. (Find some way to make chocolate negative....Nobel Prize time.)

    I log EVERTHING (including water and other 0 calorie things) except BOOZE. Which is ridiculous, I know! Crazy caloric! But I don't drink often, and when I do, it's usually just whiskey.

    I dont enter!

    *Diet sodas
    *Tea
    *Veggies (as long as its not potatoes)
    *Apples (negative food - means, you burn more calories digesting it than it contains)
    *Coffie

    What about you guys ! ? =)

    You should enter diet soda's. They're worse for you than regular's.

    And there is no such thing as negative food. Everything has calories.

    What comes up in the tracker for Diet Soda that makes it worse than regular? All I know is that some diet actually do contain some calories, like Diet Mt. Dew for instance.

    Lettuce.
    Carrots.
    Watermelon (when I eat it, I only eat like a cup at the most).
    Cucumber.

    I don't know why I don't log the carrots and cucumber... I guess I just can't be fussed to figure out how MUCH I ate... I just eat it until I'm happy. :) For the cucumber this can sometimes mean an entire cucumber and for carrots it can mean one or two carrots max... I guess I just don't think that warrants logging.

    I DO log my diet sodas... mainly because I am tracking the link between headaches and diet drinks.

    I don't log anything with zero calories, like diet coke. I don't log my 10 calorie gummy vitamin, gum, or the occasional mint. I don't log my 40 calorie bedtime popsicle, because it's usually just after midnight. I'm usually several hundred calories under, so I figure it balances.

    Oh, and never things like dry spices. Those calories are pretty negligible.

    I don't add ground pepper, or ice but that's about it. Many spices have calories, and so do a lot of vitamins. The only exception I've encountered was when I burned a ridiculous amount of calories dancing, then went over a little two days later. I didn't log maybe 100-200 calories to stay under. I seriously considered putting them back on the dancing day though. It seems a little counteractive to not add healthy foods like apples and other things. They add vitamins and fiber that MFP keeps track of for you.

    Maybe you should. lol

    And stop eating a Popsicle every day at midnight.

    I enter absolutely everything from diet soda to sugar free gum. I even tried searching for paper when I accidentally took a bite out of the napkin my protein cookie was in (yes, I know it's indigestible fibre).

    The only thing I don't enter is when I open a new pot of greek yoghurt and lick the thick bit off the lid. That is a precious moment and no amount of fastidiousness will make me degrade it into grams of protein and sugar.
